Curiousity!

Was just wondering if anybody could give me a very 'rough' idea of how much it takes to get into 1/8th off road?

I'm currently racing 1/10th off road running the DEX410, so obviously have a lot of basic racing gear, but what exactly is needed to get into 1/8th and the costs?

Also Pro's and con's of 1/8th wouldn't go a miss if you don't have anything else to be doing :thumbsup: lol

thanks guys :D

hi shaun,i can only give u an idea about the elec side of 1/8th off-roaders,as i av been lookin 4 one myself.u can go from a acme werewolf brushless rtr(pro version+1 extra battery will cost u 270-280) to a hpi vorza flux brushless rtr(around 650-700).if u want nitro sure 1 of the boys will help u out.hope this helps.

to buy good stuff new id say you will need £1000
car,engine, servos x2, starter box, glow start, tyres and fuel/bottle

as for running costs, depend really on use,amount of run time, how kind you are with ur engine and how much u crash.
